Happy and Sad Bucks
 
Paul Ross.  He recently called his HVAC company for an issue and was told that he had a crack in his manifold and needed to replace the whole thing.  He called Spoor’s for a second opinion where they were able to address it for very little money.
 
Jorge Maldonado – He cleaned Bart and Loretta O'Brien’s windows and he loved working for them as well as the business.
 
Bill Johnston – He and his wife had an amazing trip to Africa for the Hart Project, but also to see other places, he offered 10,000 happy schillings.
 
Bart O’Brien – Jorge did a great job on his windows
 
Bob Hayden – Happy to be here - $100 for the foundation
 
Dan Gustavson – his niece recently got married.  The last 5 weddings he has been to it has rained, maybe it’s him.  But even though it poured rain and yet everyone attended and had fun in support of the bride and groom. It was a great event!

Visiting Rotarians – none noted
 
Welcome back to fellow Rotarian, Bob Hayden
it was Bob's first meeting in quite some time.  He and his wife are back in Auburn after a few months away. He said it is great to be back in town and he is looking forward to being back at club meetings. Terry and him joined the club back in 1973 – this is a very special place to be. He does not know everyone and some he has not seen in along time. He welcomes everyone to say hi and if he doesn't know you, to introduce yourself.
